TAUNTON — A 20-year-old city man with a rap sheet including charges of assault and receiving stolen property is being held without bail in connection with an assault on a 15-year-old high school student, police said.

Danyel Battle-Moore, 11.5 W. Weir St., is charged with assault and battery and malicious destruction of property under $250.

Battle-Moore is alleged to have attacked the victim Wednesday afternoon as a group of teens were walking toward the old E. Pole School on County Street, police said.

Battle-Moore, according to police, had previously been warned to stop ingratiating himself with and hanging around teenage boys who are susceptible to becoming part of a gang.

A Taunton District Court judge on Thursday held Battle-Moore without bail pending a bail revocation hearing Feb. 26.

Battle-Moore was arrested last August after allegedly stealing a GPS from a car and, later that night, another GPS from a home on West Weir Street, where police say a couple was sleeping when he entered their house.

He’s charged with receiving stolen property in connection to those incidents.

In August, Battle-Moore was also given two years’ suspension after pleading guilty to assault with a dangerous weapon on a person 60 or older and assault and battery, according to court records.
